amulet of the soul

This amulet was made of gold inlaid with precious stones in the form of
a human-headed hawk, and, when the words of the LXXXIXth Chapter of the
Book of the Dead had been recited over it, it was directed by the
rubric to the Chapter to be placed upon the breast of the deceased. The
object of the amulet is apparent from the text in which the deceased is
made to say, "Hail, thou god Anniu! Hail, thou god Pehrer, who dwellest in
thy hall! Grant thou that my soul may come unto me from wheresoever it
may be. If it would tarry, then let my soul be brought unto me from
wheresoever it may be... Let me have possession of my soul and of my
spirit, and let me be true of voice with them wheresoever they may be...
Hail, ye gods, who tow along the boat of the lord of millions of years,
who bring it above the underworld, and who make it to travel over Nut,
who make souls to enter into their spiritual bodies,...grant that the
soul of the Osiris 1 "may come forth before the gods, and that it may be
true of voice with you in the east of the sky, and follow unto the
place where it was yesterday, and enjoy twofold peace in Amentet. May it
look upon its natural body, may it rest upon its spiritual body, and may
its body neither perish nor suffer corruption for ever!" Thus the
amulet of the soul was intended to enable the soul both to unite with the
mummified body, and to be with its spirit (khu) and spiritual body at
will.
